Evelyn walked into the barn and pulled Dixie out of her stall and tied her to the bars on her stall door. she groomed her dark appaloosa coat then threw her saddle pad and saddle on. she slid the bit into the horse's mouth and fastined the bridle around her head. Evelyn led her horse to the outdoor arena and warmed her up after tightening the girth. she started out at a walk then trotted her around a few times. she let her lope in a circle then slowed her and walked her into the chute. the mare tossed her head, her black mane catching the slight breeze. Evelyn gained control then let her gallop to the first barrel, the right one. she turned and galloped to the second barrel, almost hitting it. she charged for the third and final barrel, gave a clean turn, and flew into the chute, sliding to a stop and turning on her hindquarters. "nice hip turn!" she said as she patted the mare's neck. she walked her out for a breather before she tried again. Edited at April 12, 2023 10:37 PM by Sky Stables

Brennan walked out of his house, wearing blue jeans and a black t shirt, along with his black Setston(cowboy hat brand) covering his fluffy brown hair, and his normal brown cowboy boots. He walked into the barn and grabbed Arrow's halter off the hook near the geldings stall. He walked to the pasture and caught his horse, then led him to the trailer. He tied him ther and brushed him thoroughly. Brennan peered into the first stall in the trailer, making sure the 2 Corriente steer's where behaving. After brushing Arrow, he made sure all his tack was in the tack compartment before opening the back of the 3 horse trailer. He untied Arrow and led him to the back of the trailer. He unclipped the lead rope and the smokey coloured gelding hopped up into the last stall in the trailer. Brennan latched the guards and closed the trailer, then went to the window and opened it so he could hook the tie to Arrow's halter. The gelding munched his hay as Brennan clipped the tie to his halter and closed the window. Brennan double checked everything before getting into his Red 1995 Ford F250. He closed his door and started the truck, then pulled out onto the road, the trailer in tow and drove to the local rodeo grounds. (he has an arena at home, but his 13 year old sister Abbigail is using it))

Evelyn trotted Dixie around the arena before turning her and walking her back into the chute. the mare twisted and turned as she awaited the click from her rider. Evelyn spurred Dixie and the mare shot forward and made nice turns then galloped back in and backed up. "nice going!" she patted the sweaty mare's neck before walking her out to cool down.

Brennan pulled into the rodeo grounds and parked his truck. He got out and unloaded Arrow and tied the gelding to the trailer. He gave Arrow his salt block and started brushing him. After brushing, he saddle him, then led the gelding to the tie post by the arena. He tied the gelding and got into his truck. He backed the trailer up to the cow slot for roping and let the steer into it, then parked the truck again. He walked back to Arrow and untied him then lead him into the arena and mounted up. After mounting up, he warmed up Arrow.

Evelyn stopped Dixie at the fence line and took the saddle off of her sweaty back, hoping on bareback. she loved to feel the muscles beneath her as she walked around. she took a deep breath and walked her horse down

After warming up Arrow, he went into the gate and made sure Arrow was ready to run. The door for the steer shot open and Arrow shot out after it. Brennan swung the lasso in the air above him and let it go, roping the steer. Arrow slid to a stop as Brennan wrapped the rope around the saddle horn, pulling the steer to a stop too. He looked at the timer, 10.5 seconds. "Good boy Arrow," He spoke to his horse "you too Buddy" he said to the steer as he slipped the rope off his neck. He reset everything and did it again, 3 more times before cooling Arrow out.

Evelyn continued to walk her beautiful horse off. she breathed in the cool air. her phone buzzed in her pocket. it read "hey, come to the show. aren't you racing tonight?" she smiled as she hopped off Dixie and replied. "on the way now!" she grabbed the saddlepad and saddle off the fence and walked to the trailer. she looked back at Dixie who followed her and stood at the back of the trailer. Evelyn switched the bridle for a halter and patted the mares rump. she immediately stepped into the trailer. Evelyn closed it and hopped in the truck. she had attached the trailer the night before. Evelyn drove off towards the grounds.

Brennan dismounted Arrow and led him to the trailer. He swapped the bridle for a halter and tied him to the trailer. He untacked the gelding and brushed him out, then led him to the round pen so he could role. He let Arrow role in the round pen, then brought him back to the trailer. He tied Arrow and brushed him again. He then gave the young gelding a bucked of water, his salt lick and a hay bag full of hay. He sat on the wheel well of the trailer and checked his phone. The rodeo events would start in an hour. People would start showing up anytime
